The model honored a promise after Christopher Middlebrook’s death
Amanda Hirsch released a preview of the latest Not Skinny But Not Fat episode on Tuesday, November 3. The supermodel appeared on the show to discuss her career and personal life. During the conversation, Miranda Kerr recalled how she honored a promise she had made following Christopher Middlebrook’s death.
Kerr said, “I was writing a letter to him to put in with him when he was buried, and in part of that letter, I had said, ‘My firstborn son will carry your name,’ which is why Flynn is Flynn Christopher.”
“Intuitively, I feel like Chris is, like, really watching over my son, Flynn and really protecting him. Flynn actually wears a pendant, St. Christopher, as well,” she added.
Model continued, “We grew up together. He was my first love, and throughout, I think it’s been very healing for both his family and I to remain close.”
During the conversation, the Australian model also revealed that she still sends a sunflower emoji to Christopher’s mother because she feels it represents him best. The 43-year-old also opened up about how her world came crashing down when she first heard the news of her first love’s death.
For context, supermodel Miranda Kerr’s first boyfriend, Christopher Middlebrook, died in a tragic car accident in 1998. At the time, both Christopher and Miranda were just 15 years old and had been dating for nearly two years.
The Sydney-born model is currently married to Evan Spiegel. Miranda and Evan began dating in 2014 and tied the knot on May 27, 2017. The couple has three sons together: Hart, Myles, and Pierre.
